Without doubt the most successful and

ways to bring the two into close connection.

streams have writhod under his whipping and
all waters have yielded up to his lines their
flnny inhabitants. Speaking OF deep water
fishing he said:
There has been in tho past some dispute
among fishing authorities about the effects Of
the oil factory operations upon the fish that
como up our coasts, hut think that now about
everybody ia agreed on the matter. 1t is not
80 much the dumping OF considerable quanti-
ties OF garbage into the bays and creeks as the
excessive spreading OF pound nets along the
coast. OF course the FISH could get out OF these
nets II only they had the sense to go back tho
same way they came, but no fish does that.
So 1t Is comparatively simple mat
ter to spread nets In such way
that fsh who come up against them are pre-
vented from getting away. These nets are
spread primarily to catch menhaden. hsh
that is good for two purposes only-oil and bait.

haden in tho sea, they cost $3.50 hundred for
bait. The pound nets extend at right angles
to the coast a long distance out to sea, none
being less than several hundred feet in length.

They are having such fishing down there this

the shores and inlets OF tho bay have been

that would appear in two or three years should

Another method OF taking the menhaden
